Support/Services Fiscal 2008 Highlights: -- Ongoing efforts to improve operating margin and capital structure paid
off in fiscal 2008. Operating margin was 23% in fiscal 2008, up from
19% in the prior fiscal year as a result of gross margin expansion
coupled with expense reduction efforts. Annual return on equity was
22% in fiscal 2008, up from 16% in the prior fiscal year, primarily due
to improved operating efficiency and capital structure. During the
fiscal year, Xilinx repurchased 24 million shares of common stock and
announced an increase in its dividend to $0.14 per diluted share,
resulting in a dividend yield of 2.4%, higher than the dividend yield
of the S&P 500. -- Xilinx improved its 65nm sales leadership with strong growth from its
Virtex-5 FPGA family. Shipping over a year before competing products,
sales from the Virtex-5 family increased more than 70% sequentially in
the March quarter. Recently, Xilinx introduced Virtex-5 FXT devices
which deliver in system integration for designs that demand
high-performance processing and high-speed serial I/Os, enabling
designers to reduce system costs, board space and component count. Xilinx estimates that it currently supplies over 90% of the PLD
industry's 65nm sales. -- Xilinx delivered the ISE(R) Design Suite 10.1, a single unified release
providing FPGA logic, embedded and DSP designers with immediate access
to the Company's entire line of design tools with full
interoperability. The ISE Design Suite offers significantly faster
implementations with an average of 2X faster run-times and up to
38% faster performance. -- Xilinx realized record sales in the Consumer & Automotive and
Industrial and Other end markets in fiscal 2008. These combined
categories represented 49% of sales in fiscal 2008, up from 45% in the
prior fiscal year and up from 36% three years ago. Growth in these end
markets was primarily driven by strength in defense and automotive
applications and validates the Company's focused end market
diversification efforts.
